Hi, good luck! I am on the 21st.

july 10th and cannot wait!!

I am June 26th, Good luck to you!!

Hi, I am scheduled for June 27th. I just started to 2nd week of the pre-op diet, which calls for 1000Cal/day and I can eat solid foods, like Lean Cuisine etc. Some people mention here that they eat only liquids as pre-op diet. (???) I hope I did not misunderstand my doctor.. How is your pre-op diet?

I'm the 27th! Heather, every doctor has different guidelines for their pre-op diet so I'm sure you didn't misunderstand him. Mine is 2 shakes and 2 small meals (high protein no carb). And I know some people are on full liquids, and some don't have a pre-op diet at all. It's just up to your doctor!

Good luck guys! I was June 27th of last year! Best decision ever!

Hi Rbmk,

I think our pre-op diet is similar. I have to eat 2 shakes and 2 frozen meals, plus raw vegetables per day.

Tonight, I slipped.. I was invited to a dinner party and I had 2 glasses of wine. At least it was not a whole bottle I am not happy about it.

My surgery isthmus Friday and I think it's only 1 day pre-op. I'll find out tomorrow. Excited and nervous!!

Ready for pre op day tomorrow! All clear liquids... We will see how it goes!

I am banded! Overall I'm doing pretty good. Sore from bloating in my upper stomach area but my doctor said that would pass in a few days. I go home shortly and I can't wait!

I am glad to hear that you are fine. I did not experience the shoulder pain, but they say that it goes away in a day or two.
